Another year has passed and it was another good one. Week in week out there were BMX events taking place. At some weekends there were five jams, contests or gatherings going on at the same time. You can complain about this but you can also see this as a good thing; choise, I mean, choice. The FATBMX event calendar is trying to keep you informed on the year 2007. We have pencilled in some big events but we are also adding local jams to the list because we know these are important to you. You can schedule your tour around the big dates or book a trip now that flights are cheap. Ryanair, Air Berlin and Easyjet have become a form of transportation because of their ridiculous deals sometimes. Look into it now and pay less. We take no responsibility on changed schedules so if it looks shady to you, you can decide whether you take the risk or not.

For 2007 we have once again scheduled to be present at as many BMX events as possible. We'll try hard to get the reports online soon after the event.

The FSO posse is once again putting a jam together. This time the venue is the indoor skatepark at Burnside skateshop in Deventer, Holland. The date is 13 January 2007 so if you have been away from your bike too much this winter, put it in the car and head for the FSO session. Starts at 2pm and it's only 5 Euros to ride. A good opportunity to say happy new year to all your BMX friends.

Some people simply get it. Ken Paul for instance. He discovered that they're selling the best beer on earth around the corner from where he lives and bought a 6-pack right away:

"Hello boyz, for some strange reason, they now sell Bavaria in Canada! Reminds me of good times down at the OJA. Hope you're doing well. Take care, have a good bmx-mas! "
